						In 1970 Richard 
						Cook graduated from the College of William and Mary, 
						receiving a degree with honors and election to Phi Beta 
						Kappa.  
						He then came to 
						Washington, D.C., to study meditation and spirituality 
						and serve as an analyst with the federal government. 
						While at NASA Cook warned of a possible disaster due to 
						faulty O-ring joints in the space shuttle  
						solid rocket 
						boosters.  
						The disaster came 
						to pass with the loss of Challenger and seven American 
						astronauts in January 1986. Cook then worked at the U.S. 
						Treasury department for over two decades.  
						Upon retirement in 
						2007, he wrote articles predicting the financial crash 
						of 2008. Cook has published several books, including "In 
						the Footsteps of the Yogi" on his spiritual experiences; 
						"Challenger Revealed" on his time as a whistleblower 
						with NASA; and "We Hold These Truths: The Hope of 
						Monetary Reform"on how to change the financial system. 
						In his latest book, Return of the Aeons: The Planetary 
						Spiritual Ascension, Cook says that Ascension is real

							ABSTRACTThis is a chapter from the book,
							
							Return of the Aeons: The 
							Planetary Spiritual Ascension (2013).
   
							The book’s objective is 
							to explain today's spiritual ascension of earth and 
							humanity at this unique period of planetary history 
							and how the Divine Beings are helping us transcend 
							and transform. The book is part of the literature 
							that is being created about the post-2012 
							transition.    
							The book is deeply 
							grounded in the author’s own personal experience in 
							working with the spiritual masters, in teaching 
							spirituality to others, and in connecting the 
							spiritual changes with current world events such as 
							the environmental crisis, financial collapse, UFOs, 
							and war and political crises.    
							The book also offers 
							detailed information in the traditions of Gnosticism 
							and the perennial philosophy and provides numerous 
							aids for seekers on establishing and maintaining 
							their own spiritual practice…    
							How, in the face of 
							overwhelming environmental, political, economic, and 
							ethical problems facing humanity, the New Earth is 
							yet in formation and how each individual can be a 
							part of it. 
			  
			  
			  
			
			 
			  
			  
			  
			This is the Space Age, though no one has 
			ever been able to define exactly what that term includes.  
			  
			We know it covers humans in space, 
			satellites, robotic space probes, etc. But how about beings like us 
			living elsewhere in the universe? Of course many "primitive" peoples 
			around the world have had legends that such beings not only exist 
			but were their own ancestors.  
			  
			This includes both the Australian 
			aborigines and some Native American tribes who believe their 
			forebears came from the Pleiades.
 The media constantly ask, "Are we alone?" But do they want to hear 
			the answer?
 
			  
			The idea
			
			of UFOs
			
			and ETs fits perfectly with this 
			book, because if we are surrounded by Higher Beings who 
			influence human life, maybe some of those beings have come on 
			spaceships and are here now.
 The following narrative is based on the best sources I have been 
			able to discover, including information from the RA Material and The 
			Nine.
 
 UFOs or UFO-like objects have been reported throughout history, 
			including ancient Rome and medieval times. As stated in Part One, 
			researchers such as Erich von Daniken have postulated that 
			UFOs and ETs are the source of many ancient legends of visits from 
			the gods who left traces of their presence in archaeological 
			phenomena such as 
			the Nazca lines in Peru or
			
			the pyramids of Egypt.
 
 In our own era, military officers, pilots, government officials and 
			citizens from many countries have reliably and extensively 
			documented tens of thousands of UFO sightings for more than six 
			decades.
 
			  
			In fact millions of people worldwide 
			have seen UFOs of types that appear to be unlike anything made by 
			earthlings, though it is likely that some sightings are of UFO-like 
			craft built by earth’s governments.
 Compared to UFOs, there have been far fewer well-documented reports 
			of ET sightings and contacts, but again, the eyewitness reports have 
			been sufficient to establish that ETs are here. Meanwhile, there has 
			been complete denial by the U.S. government that UFOs or ETs even 
			exist, especially after 1969, when the Air Force’s Project Blue Book 
			was terminated.
 
 In 1968, Science and Mechanics magazine published accounts of UFO 
			sightings from the Air Force’s official files of Project Blue Book 
			held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio.
 
			  
			The accounts appeared in the book, 
			The Official Guide to UFOs (Ace Publishing, 1968).  
			  
			In 1969,
			
			Project Blue Book was discontinued 
			permanently, though secret government investigative programs 
			continued. Following are excerpts from official government records, 
			all labeled by the Air Force as "unexplained."  
			  
			The quotations are from the official Air 
			Force reports. 
 
				
					
					
					The first publicized UFO 
					sighting of the modern era was by pilot Kenneth Arnold, 
					flying in the vicinity of Mt. Ranier, Washington, on June 
					24, 1947. The encounter lasted 1 minute, 42 seconds. Arnold 
					observed nine disc-shaped craft two-thirds the size of a 
					DC-4 transport flying at 9,500 ft. at 400 MPH. The objects 
					flew in a chain-like line, as though linked together, spread 
					out over five miles. Arnold was interviewed at length by the 
					Air Force.
 
					
					On March 23, 1966, at 5:05 a.m. 
					in Temple, OK, a man driving a car saw an object like a 
					conventional aircraft without wings or engines but with a 
					"bubble" on top. It rested on supports and had bright 
					forward and aft lights. The observer stopped his car, 
					approached the UFO on the highway and saw "a man wearing a 
					baseball cap enter it by steps from the bottom." The UFO 
					then rose from the highway and flew off.
 
					
					On November 27, 1960, at 7:30 
					p.m. in Chula Vista, CA, there was a twenty to thirty minute 
					sighting by seven observers, including two amateur 
					astronomers. They saw a craft that was round with a long 
					antenna and a flashing white light of high intensity running 
					along the pod. They said it "moved all over the sky in huge 
					circles and made dashes at terrific speeds."
 
					
					On April 24, 1964, at 5:45 p.m. 
					in Socorro, NM, a squad-car police officer saw an egg-shaped 
					object the size of a sedan automobile standing on two 
					girder-like legs. It settled to the ground with a 
					retro-rocket that had a bluish-orange flame. According to 
					the report, the officer said he "saw two persons standing 
					beside it dressed in white coveralls; they seemed startled 
					when he arrived at the scene, got back in the object and 
					took off; observer described them as ‘normal in shape, but 
					possibly they were small adults or large kids.’"
 
					
					On September 3, 1965, at 2 a.m. 
					in Exeter, NH, there was an observation by a young man about 
					to enter the Navy and two police officers. They saw five 
					bright red round objects moving in formation. The report 
					stated, "The lights moved over a large field and sometimes 
					fluttered to a lower altitude in a maneuver that resembled a 
					falling leaf…These mysterious lights were so bright that 
					they illuminated the surrounding landscape with a red glow."
 
					
					On a day in the spring of 1966, 
					at 5 a.m., from Atwater, OH, to Freedom, PA, there was a 
					moving observation by two sheriff’s deputies plus eight 
					civilians. They saw a "dazzlingly bright" circular object 
					with an antenna projecting below. The object moved straight 
					ahead of the police car chasing it. After about twenty-five 
					minutes it slowed down, allowed the car to catch up and 
					hovered for a while above the car. Then it was off again, 
					ahead of the car. When it moved too far ahead, it hovered 
					and appeared to wait for the car to catch up with it.
 
					
					On March 14, 1965, at 1:30 a.m. 
					in Everglades, FL, there was an observation by a 
					professional dog-trainer, who saw a circular craft with a 
					dome about twenty-five feet high. Ten feet of the lower 
					portion contained four rows of brightly-lighted windows. 
					When he approached the craft he was hit by a paralyzing beam 
					of light.
 
					
					On June 18 and July 2 and 3, 
					1965, at the South Pole, there was an observation by 
					Argentine, British and Chilean personnel, including the 
					Chilean Antarctic Commander, who saw a craft "like a 
					gigantic double-convex lens, extremely brilliant but solid." 
					It had a "zig-zag trajectory, changed speeds and directions 
					often and once hovered motionless at an altitude of about 
					three miles for about fifteen minutes. Another time it 
					stopped suddenly from high speed to hover motionless for 
					twenty minutes."
 
					
					On December 13, 1961, at 5:05 
					p.m. in Washington, D.C., there was an observation by three 
					men in car, including an ex-Navy pilot/flight instructor, 
					who saw a "diamond- shaped craft about the size of a Piper 
					Cub if it were squared off." The craft gave off a pulsating 
					brown-orange glow underneath the center as it passed over in 
					a straight line at an altitude of 1,200-1,500 feet. 
			  
			Again, these are official U.S. 
			government records, including accounts of investigations by 
			trained Air Force personnel.  
			  
			The last entry on the sighting in 
			Washington, D.C., was particularly interesting to me because it took 
			place on Virginia Avenue near the State Department a couple of 
			blocks from where I worked at the U.S. Civil Service Commission.
 On November 9, 1965, came the great Northeastern blackout, where the 
			states of New York and New Jersey, the Canadian province of Ontario 
			and most of New England experienced a complete power failure lasting 
			twelve hours to the minute, where thirty million people were without 
			electricity. The New York Times reported that 800,000 were trapped 
			in subways when the power went off.
 
			  
			UFO researchers claimed that the lights 
			went out when military fighter planes gave chase to a UFO over New 
			York state.  
			  
			The official version, which was never 
			proven, was that personnel incorrectly set a protective device on an 
			electrical relay line. Despite the innocuous cover story, after the 
			incident electric companies made major upgrades to protect their 
			systems from electromagnetic radiation.  
			  
			Researchers postulate that 
			electromagnetism is a common means of UFO propulsion. 
			Electromagnetic energy is routinely detected
			
			at crop circle sites where UFOs 
			also have been reported.
 NASA "officially" denies any knowledge of UFOs or ETs, which is 
			absurd.
 
			  
			When I moved to Washington, D.C., in 
			1970 one of the first people I met was a man who worked for the NASA 
			office that was engaged in the Search for Extraterrestrial 
			Intelligence (SETI). NASA had been quietly seeking intelligent life 
			elsewhere since it was founded. Government denials in this and other 
			areas mean nothing.  
			  
			Government officials are trained to lie 
			to outsiders. It’s called "security."
 Over the years there has been a steady stream of alleged sightings 
			coming from NASA of UFOs tracking and accompanying manned and 
			unmanned space launches. There are credible reports that Neil 
			Armstrong (1930-2012), the first human to walk on the moon, told 
			industry representatives at a conference that
			
			the astronauts saw UFOs on the lunar surface.
 
			  
			Armstrong also reportedly said that 
			humanity had been "waved off" the moon by extraterrestrials who did 
			not want us visiting there. And by the way, yes, NASA did send 
			humans to the moon. But the lunar program was suddenly discontinued 
			after 1972, with no reasonable explanation.
 Astronaut Gordon Cooper (1927-2004) was one who saw UFOs and 
			discussed them at a UN panel discussion in 1985.
 
			  
			He spoke as one who knew they existed, 
			not as offering mere speculation:  
				
				I believe that these 
				extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this 
				planet from other planets, which are a little more technically 
				advanced than we are on earth…   
				We may first have to show them that 
				we have learned how to resolve our problems by peaceful means 
				rather than warfare, before we are accepted as fully qualified 
				universal team members. 
			Having worked for NASA and the U.S. 
			space program, it is my own belief that one of the reasons NASA was 
			created by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1958 was to meet 
			the challenges posed by UFOs and ETs present on earth in the 1940s 
			and 1950s. 
			  
			I find the reports that President
			
			Eisenhower met with ETs in 1954 and 
			was party to some kind of treaty or protocol with them to be highly 
			plausible.  
			  
			It is intriguing to consider speculation 
			that the scene in Steven Spielberg’s film Close Encounters of the 
			Third Kind of the meeting in the desert between earthlings and ETs 
			was based on a real-life meeting at Holloman Air Force Base in New 
			Mexico.  
			  
			Film footage of that meeting is said 
			actually to exist.
 It is also plausible to consider that the sudden development of many 
			types of high-tech gadgetry starting in the late 1940s was due to 
			the retro-engineering of components of crashed UFOs, such as
			
			those at or near Roswell, and/or 
			was provided to the U.S. government by ETs seeking to have 
			relationships with humans.
 
			  
			Such technology is said to have 
			included, 
				
					
					
					fiber-optics
					
					the laser 
					
					the computer micro-chip 
			It has been the micro-chip that has made 
			the era of modern data processing possible, was pioneered for space 
			flight by NASA on the space shuttle and has led to the internet 
			revolution. 
			  
			It is in fact plausible that the 
			internet is a gift from the ETs, aka, the Higher Powers, 
			being the single most powerful escape currently existing for 
			humanity to prevent total domination by the Controllers.  
			  
			Of course the Controllers are racing to
			
			use the Internet and other computer 
			technology for even greater enslavement of mankind.
 President 
			
			Ronald Reagan had a deep 
			interest in the space program. It was Reagan who proposed the 
			Strategic Defense Initiative, or "Star Wars" program, believing, he 
			claimed, that it would replace the "Mutually-Assured Destruction" - 
			"MAD" -  philosophy of the nuclear standoff with the Soviet 
			Union.
 
			  
			Reagan had reported his own sighting of 
			UFOs.  
			  
			He was also documented on several 
			occasions as speaking about an extraterrestrial threat. 
			  
			According to a White House transcript, 
			Reagan remarked during a December 4, 1985, meeting in Moscow with 
			Soviet General Secretary Gorbachev: 
				
				How easy his task and mine might be 
				in these meetings that we held if suddenly there were a threat 
				to this world from some other species from another planet 
				outside in the universe. We’d forget all the little local 
				differences that we have between our countries. 
			Reagan said in a speech at the United 
			Nations on September 21, 1987: 
				
				In our obsession with antagonisms of 
				the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of 
				humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make 
				us recognize this common bond. 
			  
			  
			  
			  
			  
			  
			The history of UFOs reported at or near 
			military sites or in contact with military aircraft both in the U.S. 
			and abroad can leave little doubt that by Reagan’s time the 
			perceived threat from them had become a matter of strategic concern 
			for both the U.S. and Soviet governments.  
			  
			The best source for documentation of 
			these incidents is Richard M. Dolan’s massive and authoritative
			
			UFOs and the National Security State, 
			Vols. One and Two, with Volume Two subtitled, "The Cover-Up 
			Exposed."  
			  
			No person who has failed to read this 
			mighty work has a right to say one word in denial of UFOs and ETs.
 By the 1980s, according to
			
			Tom and 
			
			The Nine, 
			there were twelve separate extraterrestrial civilizations with 
			spacecraft either on the earth or in earth’s vicinity. Not all of 
			these were benign. In fact, perhaps a majority, Tom says, owed their 
			allegiance to The Others.
 
			  
			Included were
			
			the Greys from the Zeta Reticuli star system, 
			only thirty-nine light-years from earth.  
			  
			The Greys, it is said, are the ETs 
			responsible for most of the "alien 
			abductions" reported over the past several decades, where 
			medical experiments and examinations have been performed on human 
			subjects who were then returned to earth.
 Tom and The Nine say that the Greys are conducting these experiments 
			because they are looking for a place to which to relocate due to 
			growing environmental problems with their own planet.
 
			  
			UFO/ET researchers are convinced the 
			U.S. government knows about the Greys and has allowed them to 
			function here, leading to calls by such researchers as 
			
			Stephen M. Greer for disclosure 
			by the government of all they know. Greer operates what is called
			
			the Disclosure Project for this 
			purpose.  
			  
			Another extraterrestrial race believed 
			to be working cooperatively with the U.S. government are the 
			Nordics, operating out of bases in the Nevada desert.
 But the U.S. government by no means could feel even remotely in 
			control of its relationships with ET civilizations. ETs are able to 
			maneuver their craft into and out of dimensions inaccessible to 
			humans who live only in third-density consciousness. Tom and The 
			Nine say that the reason for the rapprochement between the U.S. and 
			Soviet Union starting in the 1980s under Reagan and Gorbachev, 
			leading to the fall of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, was common 
			fear of the ETs.
 
			  
			It was also at this time that both the 
			U.S. and Soviet Union abandoned the "space race" and decided to work 
			cooperatively on developing and deploying the International Space 
			Station.  
			  
			This was a startling development for 
			those of us who had witnessed the sometimes bitter competition 
			between the U.S. and the Soviet Union up to and including the 
			decision by the U.S. to build a space station called "Freedom" that 
			would compete for space domination with the Soviet Mir.  
			  
			It is completely plausible to believe 
			that the reason the space race ended was the perceived ET threat.
 
			
  
			  
			  
			Not everyone sees the ET presence as 
			ominous.  
			  
			While
			
			the Roman Catholic Church has not 
			taken an official position, Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a 
			member of the Vatican Curia, has gone on Italian television a number 
			of times to state his belief that extraterrestrial contact is a 
			genuine phenomenon.  
			  
			Balducci emphasizes that 
			extraterrestrial encounters, 
				
				"are not demonic, they are not due 
				to psychological impairment, they are not a case of entity 
				attachment, but these encounters deserve to be studied 
				carefully."  
			In a Vatican newspaper piece titled "The 
			Extraterrestrial Is My Brother," the Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes 
			said the expansiveness of the universe means there could be life on 
			planets other than earth.  
				
				"In my opinion this possibility 
				exists," Funes, the director of the Vatican Observatory, told 
				L'Osservatore Romano   
				"As there is a multiplicity of 
				creatures on earth, so there may be other beings, intelligent, 
				created by God. This does not conflict with our faith, because 
				we cannot put limits on the creative freedom of God. 
			Funes said human beings could even 
			consider another life form an "extraterrestrial brother," because 
			it, too, would be one of God's creatures.
 It seems odd that almost alone within the world’s authority 
			structures, these two men who are high up in the Catholic Church 
			should have such a positive attitude. What do they know? Of course 
			the Church has many scholars and officials who are highly informed 
			of all that takes place on the planet.
 
			  
			It has also been reliably said that some 
			modern popes have had their own profound visions of Jesus/Jeshua, 
			angels, etc.  
			  
			So it seems likely that the Church is 
			aware of The Nine and their revelations that
			
			Jesus is 
			from the extraplanetary civilization of Hoova; i.e., that
			Jesus himself may be an extremely refined extraterrestrial, 
			as stated in Part One of this book.
 Meanwhile, UFO researchers continue to document the facts of what 
			has been going on for over half a century.
 
			  
			Leslie Kean is a widely published 
			investigative journalist and author of the book, UFOs: Generals, 
			Pilots, and Government Officials Go On the Record (Crown Books 
			2010).  
			  
			Leslie Kean’s bestselling book documents 
			major UFO incidents worldwide taking place from 1976 to 2007, where 
			official eye-witnesses and expert investigators have concluded that 
			craft using technologies not in existence anywhere on earth have 
			freely been roaming our airspace for decades.
 Kean describes encounters with UFOs taking place where human-flown 
			aircraft have disappeared, the UFOs evaded attacks from military 
			fighters, UFOs as large or larger than aircraft carriers have been 
			seen in the sky and where the UFOs have traded signals with human 
			observers.
 
			  
			She documents that UFOs make sudden 
			maneuvers that defy all known laws of aerodynamics, may be silent 
			though visible to radar, seem to be made of unknown materials, 
			appear and reappear as though passing between dimensions and display 
			lights of a brightness and behavior unknown on earth.  
			  
			She also uses official records to 
			describe the CIA program that was initiated in 1953 whereby the 
			government decided to use, 
				
				"mass media such as television, 
				motion pictures, and popular articles" to debunk UFOs and make 
				the public afraid even to talk about them. 
			The CIA also decided to infiltrate 
			civilian groups that studied UFO phenomena. 
			  
			It was these actions, along with the 
			1968 government-funded
			
			Condon Study that "made the subject 
			of UFOs scientifically unrespectable" and squashed serious UFO study 
			in the U.S. to this day. 
 As an example of an undeniably authentic sighting, Leslie Kean 
			describes a major UFO appearance in Phoenix, Arizona, on March 13, 
			1997, called the "Phoenix Lights."
 
			  
			The phenomenon was witnessed by, 
				
				"many hundreds - more like 
				thousands" of people, including Governor Fife Symington. The 
				sighting lasted from 8:15 to 9:30 p.m. The craft was triangular 
				in shape and "incredibly huge." 
			According to Kean: 
				
				It was the size of multiple football 
				fields and up to a mile long, many said. A little league game 
				had to stop as the massive object passed over the heads of moms, 
				dads, kids and coaches staring in disbelief.    
				Some people described its color as a 
				dark gun-metal gray, and many people were awestruck by the 
				silence of the object, given its size, especially when watching 
				it take off in the blink of an eye.  
				(Leslie Kean, UFOs: Generals, 
				Pilots, and Government Officials Go On The Record, p.248) 
			The federal government took no action, 
			dispatched no investigators, and later said the sighting was merely 
			of some "flares" that had been set off on a nearby mountain.  
			  
			Governor Fife Symington, a pilot 
			and former Air Force officer, saw the UFO with his wife and 
			described it as, 
				
				"a massive delta-shaped craft." He 
				said, "This craft did not resemble any man-made object I had 
				ever seen." 
			Let me ask everyone who happens to be 
			reading this book:  
				
			 
			And as I speak to groups on this subject 
			and listen to individuals describe their own UFO sightings, I am 
			amazed that officialdom should so resolutely ignore them and even 
			try to make those who have seen such things with their own eyes 
			think they are crazy.  
			  
			The attitude of mainstream institutions 
			is worse than criminal; it’s diabolical.
 
			
   
			  
			  
			Similar is the attitude of the 
			mainstream to crop circles, which it debunks as a wholesale hoax.
			 
			  
			This attitude is, of course, also 
			absurd. Crop circles, particularly in southern England, are a potent 
			means of communication between Divine Beings and humans, 
			designed mainly to engender feelings of awe but also to provide 
			information of a metaphysical nature.
 The crop circles are huge, complex and have been observed in their 
			formation many times by persons who camp out and film them as they 
			are created by rapidly-moving balls of light. Many of the crop 
			circles are constructed in patterns relating to the number twelve, 
			which is a number mentioned by Tom and The Nine as being a completed 
			pattern of synchronous relationship between the Divine and human 
			levels.
 
			  
			Another recent crop circle was a 
			gigantic depiction of the Kabbalah’s Tree of Life.
 An excellent resource on current scientific research on crop circle 
			formation is Mysterious Lights and Crop Circles (Paper Chase 
			Press, 2000) by Linda Moulton Howe.
 
			  
			A comprehensive analysis of the 
			relationship between crop circles and Ascension may be found in an 
			article entitled "Crop Circle Phenomena and 2012" by Wendy Flentri, 
			M.A. (Exopolitics Journal 4:1, March 2012, p.126-144)
 To summarize, the existence of UFOs and ETs has been a thoroughly 
			documented occurrence since the mid-1940s, with tens of thousands of 
			credible reports both in the U.S. and other nations. From the start, 
			UFOs have been viewed by the U.S. government as enemy combatants, 
			invading our air space and threatening us with superior technology.
 
			  
			There has been substantial reported 
			military combat, including loss of life, and possibly other types of 
			interaction between UFOs, ETs and the world’s military 
			establishments, especially that of the U.S.
 A scientific correlation has been suggested by Frances’s official 
			UFO agency between the frequency of UFO reports and periods of 
			nuclear weapons testing.
 
			  
			For many years, military witnesses have 
			suggested UFOs are in process of examining or disabling nuclear 
			weapons at military bases.  
				
					
					
					A hypothesis has been developed 
					in the UFO/ET literature that the influx of UFOs between 
					World War II and today has had as a major purpose to stop 
					nuclear war from breaking out on earth.   
					
					A second hypothesis has been 
					that, with the coming of the space age, human beings are 
					being studied, used for experimentation, or somehow oriented 
					to the interplanetary/interstellar community.   
					
					A third hypothesis is that 
					UFO/ET contact is to get humanity used to the idea that the 
					earth and mankind are undergoing a dimensional shift in 
					spiritual evolution and help us respond; i.e., the 
					Ascension. 
			One thing is certain:  
				
				the U.S. government and mass media
				do not want you to believe UFOs or/and ETs exist. 
				 
			And the U.S. may be much further along 
			than we think in creating its own space planes, flying saucers, etc. 
			  
			It also seems possible that technology 
			gained from government control of 
			
			Nikola Tesla’s confiscated archives has been used for 
			secret military projects, including his designs for a flying saucer 
			powered by energy extracted from empty space.
 Some say that beneath the mountains of western North Carolina near 
			the Pisgah National Forest are underground bases containing 
			government-made UFOs. Some believe that the purpose is to fake a 
			UFO/ET invasion that will frighten earth’s population into embracing 
			the New World Order.
 
			  
			According to scientist Carol Rosin, 
			just before he died in 1977, Dr. Wernher von Braun, father of 
			the rocketry that sent men to the moon, spoke at length to her when 
			they both were working for Fairchild Industries.
 Speaking frequently at UFO conferences,
			
			Rosin says that von Braun warned 
			that in order to sustain the military-industrial complex, a false 
			threat of an alien invasion would someday be created.
 
				
					
					
					Was Ronald Reagan with his 
					comments on a possible alien threat reflecting that secret 
					plan?
					
					Is this why Hollywood in the 
					last twenty years has begun to portray space aliens as 
					horrible monsters? This portrayal has been far different 
					from such benign treatments as the movie E.T. The 
					Extraterrestrial released in 1982. 
					
					Why such a change? 
					
					Has Hollywood been working with 
					the secret government to terrify people? 
			So where does this leave us as we return 
			to the theme of this book: The Return of the Aeons: The Planetary 
			Spiritual Ascension?  
			  
			In the pages of this book we have also 
			looked at the Divine Beings from many perspectives:  
				
					
					
					Jesus/Jeshua coming 
					through channeling, visions, and tangible appearances
					
					God-realized human 
					teachers who themselves have seen the Divine Beings in 
					person
					
					beings from Earth’s inner planes
					
					all-pervasive Spirit
					
					the Divine Mother
					
					
					
					RA, the social memory complex 
					who gave Carla Rueckert and her colleagues the RA Material
					
					Tom and The Nine, speaking 
					through Phyllis Schlemmer to the group that included Dr. 
					Andrija Puharich and Eugene Roddenberry, creator of Star 
					Trek 
			And there are millions of people around 
			the world who communicate with angels, spirits of the departed, 
			guides, and the Divine Beings themselves, including myself.
 Now we have on top of this the ETs, both those which threaten and 
			those which appear to come in peace.
 
			  
			As an example, here is a report from 
			UFOs and the National Security State, Vol. One, by Richard M. 
			Dolan: 
				
				On the other side of Monterey Bay, 
				California, that night [Jan. 29, 1965], radio technician Sid 
				Padrick claimed to have encountered UFO occupants. At about two 
				a.m., while taking a late stroll before going to bed, Padrick 
				claimed he heard a loud humming noise and saw a machine shaped 
				like "two thick saucers inverted."    
				An entity told him not to be afraid 
				and welcomed him aboard. "You may call me Zeeno," the being said 
				to him.    
				For what it’s worth, Xeno is the 
				Greek word for stranger, something Padrick did not know. The 
				being asked Padrick if he wanted to pay his respects to the 
				supreme deity, and Padrick reported having a deep spiritual 
				experience.    
				Perhaps surprisingly, officers from 
				nearby Hamilton AFB interviewed Padrick for three hours. 
				According to Padrick, "They wanted my account of it, word for 
				word." He said there were certain details which they asked him 
				not to talk about publicly, but he talked anyway.    
				Reporters found that Padrick was 
				backed up by everyone who knew him; he was not a nut, nor a 
				religious fanatic, nor interested in UFOs.  
				(UFOs and the National Security 
				State , Vol. One, p. 371) 
			Another phenomenon related to visitors 
			from space is that
			
			of Wanderers, mentioned previously 
			in this book.  
			  
			Wanderers are individuals born on earth 
			as humans who may have incarnated from other planetary systems. 
			Individuals such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and Nikola 
			Tesla were identified by RA as Wanderers. 
			  
			In
			
			Secrets of the UFO, Don Elkins 
			and Carla Rueckert have devoted an entire chapter to the 
			Wanderers, explaining their presence as follows: 
				
				His purpose [i.e., the purpose of 
				the Wanderer, also called, sometimes, an "apple"] in coming to 
				earth is twofold.    
				First, he hopes to advance his own 
				vibration or thinking by experiencing the strong catalyst of our 
				physical world. It is a sort of trial-by-fire approach, the 
				chance to advance more rapidly than is possible in less dense 
				vibrations.    
				Secondly, he hopes that he will be 
				able to reawaken the dormant memory of why he came to earth, and 
				so be able to carry our his mission of service to earthmen by 
				helping to increase their awareness of universal reality. 
				(Don Elkins and Carla Rueckert, 
				"Secrets of the UFO," p. 125) 
			The Wanderers are here, in other words, 
			to 'help' with 
			the Ascension.  
			  
			They run the risk, however, of being 
			caught up in earth’s dense physicality, forgetting their origins and 
			becoming trapped in the cycles of reincarnation to which 
			earth beings are subject.  
			  
			Don Elkins had learned how to hypnotize 
			people for purposes of past-life regression. Those who displayed 
			signs of having come to earth from other planets sometimes portrayed 
			their experience as highly traumatic in leaving the benign 
			atmosphere of their former home for such a troubled and depressing 
			place as they found here.  
			  
			Later, Carla Rueckert became a kind of 
			guidance counselor for Wanderers and wrote her book
			
						A Wanderer's Handbook 
			to help them survive and learn from their earthly experience.
 The reverse may also be true, in that humans who become enlightened 
			may be able to escape earth and its constrictions altogether.
 
			  
			Through heightened consciousness, say 
			some sources, they may be able to elevate themselves to other 
			planets in other solar systems that exist on a much higher level of 
			spiritual attainment. 
			
			
 
			Of the times in which we live, George 
			von Tassel has written of information acquired when he was an ET 
			contactee in the 1950s in his book, 
			
			The Council of Seven Lights: 
				
				There are
				
				twelve densities in the system 
				we occupy.    
				Each of these is divided into twelve 
				major cycles. Each major cycle is divided into twelve minor 
				cycles. When a system moves out of one density into another, it 
				is called a master cycle.    
				The solar system we are in is now in 
				the arc between the third and fourth densities. For the planet 
				earth and this solar system, this is the time of times. The 
				earth is culminating a minor cycle, a major cycle and a master 
				cycle all at the same time. This will bring about a rebalancing 
				of the planet on new poles.    
				When this occurs, the great 
				earthquake written of in Revelation will take place. 
				(Ibid, p.181) 
			In her privately printed book, Voices 
			of the Gods, Carla Rueckert wrote the following channeled 
			message: 
				
				Your planet, along with its 
				neighbors, is moving, as your galaxy is, into a new area of 
				space, a new vibration. In this creation, there is nothing but 
				order. It is only necessary to look about you to see the order 
				and perfection of this universe.    
				You are about to receive a gift. The 
				gift will be a new understanding of love. Some of you have 
				already begun to experience this, and as the progression takes 
				place, it will become more and more apparent to many of those of 
				earth. We are here to help with this experience. This is the 
				reason that so many of your brothers from space, as you call it, 
				are here now with planet earth.    
				We are here to serve and to help the 
				Creator’s plan bring to you the love you desire.  
				(Ibid, p.75) 
			One of the great modern popularizers of 
			the paranormal has been Brad Steiger.  
			  
			In his book The Aquarian Revelations 
			(1987) he wrote: 
				
				The philosophical and metaphysical 
				content of the essential message allegedly entrusted to the 
				contactee is nearly always the same. A distillation of the Outer 
				Space Apocrypha would reveal such concepts as the following:
 Man is not alone in the solar system. He has "space brothers" 
				and they have come to earth to reach him and teach him.
 
 The Space Brothers have advanced information which they wish to 
				impart to their weaker brethren. The Space Brothers want man to 
				join an intergalactic spiritual federation.
 
 The Space Brothers are here to teach, to help man rise to higher 
				levels of vibration so that he may be ready to enter new 
				dimensions. According to the Outer Space Apocrypha, such a goal 
				was precisely what Jesus, the prophets, Confucius and the 
				leaders of the great religions have tried to teach man.
 
 Man stands now in the transitional period before the dawn of a 
				New Age. With peace, love, brotherhood and understanding on 
				man’s part, he will see a great new era begin to dawn.
 
 If man should not raise his vibratory rate within a set period 
				of time, severe earth changes and cataclysms will take place. 
				Such disasters will not end the world, but shall serve as 
				cataclysmic crucibles to burn off the dross of unreceptive 
				humanity.
 
				(Ibid, p. 190-191)   
			  
			
			
			 
			  
			  
			So what comes next?  
			  
			Tom and The Nine say that humanity 
			cannot afford to sit on their hands and wait to be rescued from the 
			multiple environmental threats that face us. They say that if we 
			just let spiritual evolution take its course, earth will enter an 
			ice age where no living thing will survive, though the planet itself 
			may be spared.  
			  
			But the souls of humanity will be locked 
			up in darkness for millions of years.  
			  
			Is that what we want for our children 
			and grandchildren?
 The Nine say we must demand of the world’s governments freedom and 
			justice for all earth’s inhabitants and an end to the destruction of 
			the natural environment.
 
			  
			Earth and nature are going to defend and 
			renew themselves in any case, but what if we all worked on the 
			spiritual level, through love and meditation, to relieve the 
			tensions that result in natural disasters?  
			  
			The Nine say,  
				
				"This is the time of the people," 
				and we should listen.  
			They say it is not enough to meet in 
			small groups for private devotions. There must be action beyond 
			that.
 Many of the sacred sources also speak of a coming "Landing" of the 
			twenty-four civilizations that are called by The Nine the Council 
			of Guardians. But it cannot happen as long as 
			
			the Controllers on 
			earth remain in charge.
 
			  
			If the Divine Beings came visibly 
			to earth, they would be attacked by those who control governments 
			and have armed themselves to the teeth against any perceived threat. 
			Much must change before a Landing can take place. And it is not 
			right for humans to expect the Divine Beings to bail us out when we 
			have not done all we can to make the New Earth a reality.
 The great change may take a while longer. RA says it could be 
			100-700 years before the transition is complete.
 
			  
			What are people 
			going to be doing between now and whenever the great change takes 
			place to cooperate and prepare? Obviously it can’t be business as usual, 
			because it’s business as usual that is killing the planet and 
			enslaving those who might survive the cataclysms that may be coming.
